Jace, the super sexy guy from the book series "The Mortal Instruments" by Cassandra Clare. He is supposed to have like white hair and tawny, sparkling eyes. He is sarcastic and so hot. Anyway, I was reading City of Bones last night (the first book in the series) and as I fell asleep, I tried to come up with the person I would like to play Jace. I decided on Ryan Gosling. What do you think? Who would be your Jace?

I've always hated him, but I just looked up pictures of him, and he has gotten way more attractive in the past few years. He would be pretty good, I think. mmmmmm... here is one example:http://socialitelife.celebuzz.com/images/2008/02/hayden_details_021808_03-thumb.jpg

I spent the last half hour plugging in search terms like "young blonde male" and "18 blonde man" into Google images and E! Online, and not only did I come up with nothing, but I got some raunchy results...uh...

I don't think I follow the younger actors enough now to even know where to start. I remembered my students talking about Gossip Girls, and I looked it up and Chace Crawford is HOT, but he's 22 and has dark hair. Though Ransom Spunk is 22 and he is playing a perfect 17 year old (not counting about a century, of course).

I still love Hayden Christensen. Mmm. And he can be MY Jace, since I'm old already. I was also thinking about Ryan Phillippe in the style of Cruel Intentions...yum. He can pout and look furious like nobody's business.

I like her choices...though I pictured Clary differently. I'll look for my version of Clary. And I love Michael Cera too much for him to be Simon (he'd probably be perfect, but he - gasp - might steal the fan love away from Jace). And I love Ewan MacGregor too much for him to be Hodge. Oh, my Obi-wan...

Isabelle, the Alec choices, Jocelyn and Luke are spot on, though I don't know why, but I pictured Magnus as Asian. ?? But the Magnus choice is fine.

I'm surprised she didn't pick a Valentine. Don't throw tomatoes at me, b/c I was never an avid Buffy watcher, but I always pictured Valentine to look like Spike. In the white-blonde and dangerous way.
